Rong Lan

Rong Lan was carried out of the palace by Rong Xuan, and she slept peacefully until the middle of the night when the cold returned, trembling all over, and muttering: "Brother, I'm cold..."

"Xiaolan, big brother is here, big brother will warm you up!" Rong Xuan was so distressed that he wanted to help his younger brother to drive out the cold.

Immortal Daoist hurriedly stopped: "No way! He has lost too much blood, and his internal energy is exhausted. He can't stand your internal strength!"

Rong Lan was placed in the bathtub, with a thin layer of frost on his cold face. People kept adding hot water to the bucket, while the Immortal Daoist stood aside and dropped needles on him.

Qian Yuchen rushed over after hearing the news: "Senior, how is Lan?!"

Immortal Daoist replied: "Young Master Rong lost a lot of blood, not only the lotus, but also the efficacy of the fire snake gallbladder that was eaten a few years ago, and the efficacy of the medicine is half. The suppressing effect combined with acupuncture is the best!" He said and looked at Rong Xuan: "My brother's body can't afford it, and if the cold syndrome causes a heart attack, he will suffer even more!"

Qian Yuchen also persuaded: "General Rong, put Lan's body first in everything."

Rong Xuan finally nodded!No matter how much he hated the Chong family for betraying and hurting Xiaolan, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon the past for the sake of his brother's safety.

Rong Xuan sent Rong Lan back to the palace, but Chong Yi was sitting in the Jiuzhong Hall waiting for them.

Rong Xuan narrowed his eyes: "It turns out that you were willing to let me take Xiaolan away during the day, because you had already thought of such a moment!"

Chong Yi got up and took the person in Rong Xuan's arms and walked to the hot spring in the back hall, "The fire snake is not much easier to find than the underworld lotus, and the snake king is even more secretive. I have sent people to search together with Qianyu Zhuang. I will not ground Lan'er , he misses his elder brother, and he can leave the palace to see you at any time, but I can't let you stay in the palace, I hope you understand this."

Rong Xuan watched his younger brother being carried away, clenched his fists, "As long as you guarantee that Xiao Lan will not be hurt again, Rong Xuan will naturally understand! Farewell!"

Immortal Daoist always does not associate with the royal family, he does not enter the palace, so the acupuncture issue fell to Wang Chufeng.

Wang Chufeng was called to the doctor late at night, and Rong Lan was lying naked in the warm spring water. The steam was thick and the moonlight was bleak, which made his body appear a void pale. His body was covered with silver needles, and his complexion was frosty and transparent.

Such a scene reminded Chong Yi of Rong Lan's lifeless appearance when he was crushed under him overnight in the Nine Layers Palace.

At that time Lan'er...

He dare not think again!

After going through many hardships, spanning life and death, Chong Yi worked so hard until the day he lost and regained, he looked at Rong Lan's sleeping pale face, and his heart was full of fear!

In fact, as long as Rong Lan closes his eyes, he will be afraid!

Lan'er was afraid that he would not wake up, would leave him, and would never... never open her eyes again.

Rong Lan woke up in a warm embrace, and in his hazy consciousness he only felt a burst of thirst: "Brother... Thirsty..."

The warm and comfortable water flowed into his dry mouth. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth. When he saw who was holding him, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you? Where is my elder brother?"

Zhong Yi didn't answer, just looked down at the frowning person in his arms, his eyes were full of deep nostalgia and distress, he leaned over and kissed the lightly frowning brows, and then regardless of Rong Lan's struggle, he was dragged into bed Hugged to the table, whispered softly: "You must be hungry after sleeping for a long time, see what you want to eat, I will feed you."

Rong Lan looked at a table full of exquisite imperial meals, and what she was thinking was...

Why is he not wearing anything under the quilt?Not even panties? !

"That... Heavy Wing."

"kindness?"

"I'm a bit cold...want" to get dressed.

Rong Lan's last words were swallowed in his mouth, and Zhong Yi's face changed suddenly, and he shouted out of the room: "Wang Chufeng, come in!" Then he hurriedly carried him back to the bed, wrapped him tightly in a thick quilt, and anxiously Ask: "Lan'er, is it still cold?! Do you feel better?!"

Rong Lan was inexplicably spoiled, remembering that Chong Yi had used force on herself before, she jumped up angrily while hugging the quilt: "You stripped me naked, did you do that with me while I was sleeping?! So As soon as I wake up, you feel guilty?! Where are my clothes?!"

Zhong Yi froze.

Rong Lan pointed at Chong Yi, furious, and the quilt slipped off his shoulders inadvertently, his clean body was exposed to the air, he folded his arms and chest in a hurry, his eyes panicked like a frightened little animal, and he hid back: "Don't you?" Come here!! Cough cough! Go away...! Cough cough..."

Wang Chufeng rushed over with the medicine box and stood by the bed watching the scene in front of him, quite embarrassed.

Zhongyi's heart hurts, Lan'er was so hurt that night, when did Lan'er feel so panicked?

He stretched out his hand, grabbed him into his arms, rewrapped the quilt, and comforted him gently: "Lan'er, it was all my fault before, and I won't force you anymore. You have a cold attack, and you need to take it off because of medical treatment." If you don't believe me about your clothes, you should believe what Wang Chufeng says."

Rong Lan had regained her composure, she looked at Wang Chufeng with a red face, turned around and covered her head with a quilt, and threw her to her grandma's house ashamed, Chong Yi asked him to ask Wang Chufeng? !

"Ahem...cough cough..." Rong Lan shouted a few words and then he couldn't take it anymore. The air under the quilt was thin, so he kept coughing lightly while covering it.

Chong Yi said urgently: "Come out quickly! It will be suffocated!"

Rong Lan muffled: "Cough! Cough! Get out! I want to get dressed!"

Chong Yi waved his hand, and Zhang De quickly took Rong Lan's clothes and walked closer, Chong Yi lifted a corner of the quilt and said to Rong Lan: "You are still very weak, let Zhang De help you change your clothes, I will wait outside .”

After a lot of tossing, Rong Lan finally got his wish and sat down in front of Chong Yi, all dressed up.

Wang Chufeng took his pulse: "Lord Lan, before taking the fire snake gallbladder, you need to go to the hot spring for acupuncture treatment once a day to ensure that the coldness in your body is suppressed. Only in this way can the decoction for nourishing blood and Qi be effective."

Rong Lan said "Oh", as if she didn't understand, Zhong Yi explained intimately: "Wang Chufeng means to strip you once a day."

Rong Lan gritted her teeth and smiled, and looked at Zhong Yi: "I don't want to soak in any hot springs, I'm going out of the palace! Where's my elder brother?"

Chong Yi waved his hand, only him and Rong Lan were left in the room for a moment, and he succinctly told the ins and outs.

Rong Lan said angrily, "I should have saved you if I knew that a little blood would cause endless trouble!"

Zhong Yi was helpless for Rong Lan: "But it's too late for you to regret it now, I can't bear to die anymore." He said tenderly, pinning Rong Lan's temple hair behind his ear, picked up the chopsticks in front of him and asked, "Your wrist The wound is still not healed, what do you want to eat? I'll feed you."

All the imperial dishes on the table were replaced with new ones, and the aroma was so tangy that it made your index finger move!

Rong Lan was really hungry, picked up the chopsticks by herself, and snorted unhappily: "I'm not weak enough to be fed! I have my own hands!"

Chong Yi sat aside and watched Rong Lan eat, but he saw that Rong Lan was very skillful in holding chopsticks with his left hand, it didn't look like he just changed it temporarily because he injured his right wrist.

He suddenly remembered that his son had lamented that the prince Taifu used to write with his left hand when he reported his homework, and he also remembered the two completely different fonts on the letter Rong Lan gave him in Hongzhou.

It turned out that cutting the right wrist was not accidental.

Chong Yi's heart suddenly darkened!

Lan'er's right wrist was once driven into three bone-penetrating nails for him, and was later hanged because of him. Now, she still continues to bleed because of his injuries.

He is always making Lan'er suffer.

"Does it still hurt?"

Thinking about it, Chong Yi took Rong Lan's right hand in front of him and asked softly.

Rong Lan withdrew her hand and shook her head indifferently: "It didn't hurt at all, but this hand is not very good, and the pain is not sensitive."

Rong Lan's words actually meant to comfort Chong Yi, but Chong Yi only felt his heart sink even more after hearing this.

……

"As long as you guarantee that Xiao Lan won't get hurt again..."

……

Even if he took out the three penetrating nails for Lan'er, Lan'er still gave up a hand for him, maybe he really doesn't know how to love someone, let alone how to protect the one he loves— — from harm.

"Lan'er, my mother wants to see you, and I will admit my mistake to you face to face. Would you like to see her? If you don't want to, I will order you to refuse, so that my mother will not be able to summon you again."

Rong Lan paused with his chopsticks, and said, "See you! Why didn't you see me? I happen to have something to ask her."

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Okay. You don't have to be afraid that your mother will hurt you again, I will go with you."

Rong Lan waved her hand: "No, I can go by myself. Your mother is not a heinous bad person, what she did to me was just to take responsibility for her position, and she loves you very much, in order to ask me to save you, she will not hesitate to ask me Kneel down, so don't hate her any more!"

Chong Yi was surprised: "You said the queen mother knelt down to you?!"

Rong Lan nodded: "You really don't know, I guess no one dared to tell you, to be honest, I was also very surprised, according to her previous style, she could order someone to tie me up and feed you blood, but she didn't expect You choose to beg me to save you voluntarily."

"Teacher! Are you awake?!" Chongwen rushed into the room suddenly, he threw himself on Rong Lan's lap, and the little fox in his hand also jumped into the arms of its master, rubbing it back and forth.

Rong Lan only felt that he had two pets, and his heart softened inexplicably. He put down the wooden chopsticks and rubbed one with each hand. His movements were gentle, but his gaze was like a knife looking at Zhong Yi.

Chong Yi smiled at his murderous eyes, stretched out his hand to rub his hair, and whispered in his ear: "I knew it, you don't want Wen'er to have no teacher."

Here, after Chongwen was excited, he greeted Chongyi in a respectful manner: "My son, I have seen my father."

Chong Yi nodded: "Well, get up."

After Chongwen got up, he took the teacup from Zhang De's hand, and solemnly offered tea to his teacher: "Teacher, please be respected by the students!"

Rong Lan was taken aback for a moment, and then noticed that Chongwen was actually wearing the prince's court clothes today.

Belated apprentice ceremony.

Rong Lan couldn't help but recall that when he saw Chongwen on the first day, Chongwen pointed angrily at the gate of the East Palace and said, "The new prince is here, so keep him outside. He is a male favorite and is not qualified to be the prince's teacher!"

He couldn't help but smile, it's impossible to say that he doesn't have any sense of accomplishment in his heart, besides, he has an unshirkable responsibility for Chongwen's loss of his mother.

But he was swayed by Chong Yi, so he can't just let it go!

Rong Lan thought about it, determined to win the game, took the teacup lightly with her plain hand, took a sip, and said solemnly: "A male favorite is really not qualified to be the teacher of the prince, so to be a teacher is to abandon your father and choose you .”

Chongwen's heart jumped inexplicably. He thought that the teacher loved his father so much that he was willing to sacrifice his life to save him. Could it be that the teacher did it for himself?

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, Chongwen turned his head to look at Chongyi, and saw his father's face was still pale and gloomy after being seriously injured, he shivered, and Nuonuo said: "Father...?"

Zhang De found the right time and bowed forward: "Your Majesty, the time for the morning court is coming, please move and change your clothes!"

Because Rong Lan said he didn't want to live in the Jiuzhong Hall, after the acupuncture, Chong Yi took him back to the other garden specially set up by the Prince's East Palace for the Prince Taifu, which is still some distance away from the Yizheng Hall.

Chong Yi nodded and got up, and before leaving, he forced a kiss on Rong Lan's forehead in front of his son: "Stop taking Wen'er to places like Rouge Pavilion in the future!"

Rong Lan's health is too poor, even if Zhong Yi is seriously injured, if he wants to kiss him forcefully, he will have no strength to resist!This is simply unbearable!Rong Lan gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "If you don't go to Yanzhi Pavilion, why not go to Lingqing Pavilion?!"

The Lingqing Pavilion is exclusively for male sex.

Chong Yi's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly to his son, "Take care of your prince and Taifu, if he doesn't teach you how to do it well, I won't spare him!"

Chongwen was so frightened that his little face turned pale, and he nodded like a rattle: "My son, my son, I will obey my father's order!"

Wang Chufeng put Rong Lan's mask back on before his pulse diagnosis, so Chongwen didn't know Rong Lan's real identity.

In the following days, Rong Lan still lived in the Prince's East Palace in front of the Crown Prince's Taifu. In the morning, he would teach the ancient books and codes of Chongwen; in the afternoon, he would "play" all over the capital with Chongwen; In the hot spring of the temple, people get needles.

Every time the needle was given, Rong Lan couldn't help falling into a deep sleep from exhaustion, and when she woke up naked in Chong Yi's arms, Rong Lan had only one feeling about this, and that was—wanted to kill the king!

Besides, after Rong Xuan handed over his younger brother to Chong Yi, he and Mo Xuan split up to investigate the real culprit of Rong's family annihilation.

Zhongdie has also been secretly visiting the events of the past for more than two years in order to resolve the hatred between Chong and Rong.

The three met unexpectedly in the old house of Rong Mansion.

Zhongdie asked Rong Xuan: "What kind of person is the maid Qiu who is next to Wu Ziyun?"

Rong Xuan recalled: "As long as I can remember, Mother Qiu has been by the concubine's side and is very loyal to the concubine. The concubine also relies heavily on her. She has a son, whose baby name is A Yuan, who is the same age as Xiao Lan. The concubine never cared about Xiaolan, but she arranged for A Yuan to be Xiaolan's companion."

Zhong Die asked again: "Don't you think it's strange? When the fire was fierce back then, Wu Ziyun allowed the old general to rescue him, and even burned half of his face, but she, a servant who was deeply in love with Wu Ziyun's master and servant on weekdays, could Escaped unscathed!"

Rong Xuan replied: "Nurse Qiu was not in the mansion that day, she went to Shouxi Temple to buy incense for the concubine, so she survived."

Chongdie took out a blackened iron plate and handed it to Rong Xuan: "But someone saw her coming back long before the fire. This is the fortune divination of the Shouxi Temple to invite incense. I only recently found it in the ruins of her room." This evidence."

Rong Xuan looked at Fu's hexagram and shook his head: "She can't be the murderer. The murderer killed people first and then set fire to destroy the evidence. Not to mention that she didn't know martial arts at all, her son A Yuan also died tragically that day!"

Zhongdie insisted: "She may not be the real murderer, but there must be some kind of connection between her and the real murderer."

Mo Xuan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly interrupted: "A Yuan is not dead!"

Rong Xuan was startled: "What did you say?!"

Mo Xuan said coldly: "Ma Yi, the commander of the imperial army, told his master that the shadow rescued the Nanwang chaos. He said that that day at the Lotus Terrace, the leader of the shadow called Nanwang in a hurry——A Yuan, he thought he had misheard. King Zhinan seemed to dislike this name extremely, so he emphasized it again."

Chongdie was suspicious: "So, Mu Shaolan is not Wu Ziyun's son?! Then why does he look exactly like Rong Lan?"

Mo Xuan shook his head: "The result of my investigation is that in order to hide the identity of another son, Wu Ziyun made Mu Shaolan wear a fake face since birth, and lived in the Rong Mansion under the name of Qiu Nanny's son. One point, from the fact that Wu Ziyun asked A Yuan to be Young Master Rong's companion, and he received an aristocratic education since he was a child, it is very credible. But according to the evidence that the princess has, this Qiu Nanny seems to be not so simple, it is indeed very suspicious! "

On the other side, a conspiracy was quietly brewing somewhere in the palace.

"Brother, the emperor's 30th birthday is approaching. Great Zhou advocates frugality, and the emperor only celebrates his birthday once every tenth. Beijue, as a vassal state, will send envoys to Beijing to congratulate the emperor at that time. The opportunity is once in a thousand years. Brother must help Yier!"

The person who spoke was Concubine De, and the brother she was talking about was none other than General Zhennan, Zeng Chukuo, who had returned to Beijing to accept the ceremony.

The emperor will bestow gifts on the world on the day of his birthday, and it is a great honor for a family to be crowned as a marquis on this day.

Why did this sudden emperor's grace come from? Zeng Chukuo had learned from his father that he had just returned to Beijing. Although he hadn't seen the new crown prince and Taifu who asked for credit for him, Mr. Lan, he heard people talking about him everywhere he went. Talking about this person, he is really the hottest figure in the capital.

His appearance is world-renowned, and his talents are all over the world. Not only is he favored by the young owner of Qianyu Village, the largest village in the world, but he is also favored by the emperor. To be pitied by the world.

Zeng Chukuo frowned: "Madam, Mr. Lan gave up his life to save the emperor, and now the emperor loves him even more, and even moved to the Prince's East Palace to eat and sleep with him. He is not so easy to mess with!"

Concubine Zeng Ciyi's exquisite face was ruthless: "The emperor doesn't love women, but prefers men! In the past, the young master of the Rong family became the Minister of the Household Department, and now it is the young master Lan who is even more amazing than the young master Rong. Honored as the emperor's teacher, became the prince's tutor, and the official worshiped first rank! I have endured for so many years, I have had enough! The emperor's heart is not here at all! If Mr. Lan did not spoil my good deeds, Ran'er is now the prince. Even the new emperor! I will definitely get rid of him and Prince Chongwen together!"

Concubine De's son, Chong Ran, was the most talented among the four princes. He was the prince who had the best chance of becoming the crown prince. Missing the Eastern Palace, Concubine De originally wanted to aspire to the posthumous position, give her son the status of a son-in-law, and then oust Chongwen, who lost the protection of the queen, from the crown prince. However, she has worked hard for many years, and her brother has lived and died for Da Zhou. , but was completely disrupted by Mr. Lan who suddenly appeared, and all efforts fell short.

Zeng Ciyi's hatred for Rong Lan can be imagined.

But that day, Chong Yi was seriously injured and died. She finally made up her mind and decided to force her brother to raise troops to force the palace, abolish the crown prince, and support her own son to ascend the throne. She even wrote the secret letter to invite troops to force the palace. The young master doesn't know where the holy place is, his blood can actually bring people back to life, the emperor suffered such a serious injury, but he was able to go to court as usual the next day, a huge palace change ended so quietly, even without anyone Knowing that the emperor nearly died.

Zeng Chukuo understood the grievances in his sister's heart, and persuaded him: "Mother, in the battle at Hukou Pass, the emperor took the prince to drive him personally, and the prince cut off his own uncle's head, killed Beijue Shanyu in one fell swoop, and decided the victory. The hero in my heart, the prince not only has a good reputation in the court at a young age, but also has a high prestige in Beijue who has already attached himself to the Great Zhou! Compared with the prince Taifu, the prince is more immovable. If Beijue rebels, the consequences will be severe. Unbelievable!"

Zeng Ciyi sneered: "Because of this, the prince suddenly learned that his mother was wronged and died by the emperor, so he held a grudge, and united with the ministers of the East Palace and the foreign matriarchs who supported him in an attempt to rebel. The prince has recently been out of the palace frequently with the prince and the prince. When Beijue is Emperor He Chen's mission to Beijing, they can prove that they left the palace to have an affair with Beijue, and get rid of both of them together! Now that everything is in place, it is only due to Dongfeng to provoke the crown prince and the emperor and his son The palace will do things related to the relationship, but many matters outside the palace, including forging evidence of their rebellion, are of great importance, and my sister's actions are restricted and I don't feel at ease handing it over to others, so I ask my brother to do it for me!"

Zeng Chukuo bowed his hands and refused: "I hope you will think twice before acting! If this matter is revealed, the Zeng family will be doomed! Although the third prince is not destined to be the crown prince for the time being, the future will be long!"

Zeng Ciyi helped him up, with a pitiful tone: "Brother has commanded a large army and made great military achievements all these years. The emperor is already afraid of the Zeng family. Now that the war is over, the reason why brother should be compared to sister, a woman in the harem, in the previous court Understand better! If Ran'er can't sit on the throne at this time, it will be even more impossible if the Zeng family falls in the future!"

Zeng Chukuo hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty: "Okay, as a brother, I will go to meet the rumored prince Taifu, Mr. Lan, who is famous all over the world!"
